<p>I had students complete tasks without existing systems.</p>
<p>For example one student created a heat map (and stored data) from multiple mouse clicks on a screen over time with had no existing system, manual or otherwise.</p>

<br>
As I said earlier, almost every need or opportunity will have some existing manual process or previous system in place.<br>
<br>
If I'm not mistaken, this has also been tackled at the SAT PD days and it was stated that it was the existing system - I might be wrong so happy for the Phil, Paula or any others to add their 2c.<br>

The diagrams should be of the existing system or process.<br>
<br>
Regardless of whether students are looking to meet a need or opportunity, there is almost always some existing system or manual process in place.<br>
<br>
The SRS is part of the Analysis stage - not the Design stage.<br>

Not sure about that James,<br>
<br>
There may not be any existing system in a need or opportunity.<br>
Can't the analysis can be of the desired need or opportunity.<br>
That is, the SRS would be analysing the requirements, processes and flow of data of the need of opportunity?<br>

The Glossary definition says nothing specifically of an exisiting system, but breaking down a problem ... description of the intended purpose ... of solution.<br>
<br>
"Software requirements specification is a comprehensive description of the intended purpose and environment for purpose-designed software solutions. It documents the key activities associated with the analysing stage of the problem-solving methodology.<br>
Software requirements specifications (SRS) fulfil the purposes of breaking down a problem into component parts, providing input to the design stage and serving as a reference point for further stages of the problem-solving methodology."<br>
